# Podcast with Alex Barnett from Microsoft

I’m doing the rounds on the podcasting circuit. Tonight I did [an impromptu podcast](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062351/http://blogs.msdn.com/alexbarn/archive/2005/07/01/434568.aspx) with Microsoft International Program Manager [Alex Barnett](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062351/http://blogs.msdn.com/alexbarn/default.aspx). We were chatting via Skype and it kind of just turned into a podcast. Skype can record calls, which I didn’t know until Alex told me – he has instructions on his blog.

Alex caught me a bit unawares with the podcast, so don’t expect any startling insights from me on it. As Alex said, “this is raw” 🙂 Good fun though and I hope to do more podcast chats with Alex and others. I imagine I’ll get better at articulating my thoughts in audio… well I hope so, otherwise I’ll have to quickly retire from the podcasting circuit 😉
